The FIFA World Cup is the most significant competition in world football. The World Cup is contested by the men's national football teams of member nations of Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) (the sport's global governing body). The event takes place every four years and involves 32 national teams competing over a four-week period in a previously nominated host nation.

FIFA World Cup is a soccer tournament held every four years. The teams are made up the best players in each of the 32 participating countries. This year the tournament just began on Friday in Germany. It will last until July 9 when the final game will be played.

Good question, and asked correctly. I'll answer any question to educate people on the sport.

There is in an international body governing this sport, so it's safe to say that soccer is the exactly same sport in every part of the world, and it is call football instead of soccer,
The international governing body is referred to as FIFA, from the French "Federation Internationale de Football Associatif" (International Federation of Associative Football). The FIFA defines a soccer calendar and the culmination of it is the World Cup which is held every 4 years at alternating locations. Only the best countries of each continent will go to compete, in total there are 32 countries.
The 32 countries are divided in 8 groups, with 4 team in each group.
First Phase :
Each team plays agains the other teams of his group.(Total 3 games per team)
The winner and runner-up of the group avance to the next phase.

Second Phase (group of 16):
From this phase on it's one on one.
The winner of the game avance to the next phase

Then the next phases are quaterfinals, semifinals and final.
In total, the teams that get to the final plays 7 games.
